Some sound bites
- ARGIS 10 was a 2,000 man year job
- Why is Google Maps so easy, why is GIS so hard? Because GIS was Engineered to be difficult.
- The Google Map “environment” was a gift
- ArcGIS.com Community Base Map, like OpenStreetMap, but from authorities data sources
- ArcGIS.com is hoped to be the geo “Flickr”
- GIS is a Design tool
- GIS must move into the decision making frame, not just describing.
